Hi make people, This may be a bug. I have a makefile with only one line: orna: $$@.o
(The file orna.o exists already) I get the following error: **** no rule to make target '$@.o' for target 'orna'. stop. I am using gmake version 3.79.1 built for alpha-dec-osf5.1 on an Alpha machine, OSF1 version 5.1 When I use the a make which came with the Alpha, I have no problem: It does as I expect it to do, and defines the dependency of target orna as orna.o. According to the gmake documentation, this was supposed to work, and I googled for this error message with no luck. -- Orna. | http://tx.technion.ac.il/~agmon There are only 10 types of people in the world- Those who understand binary, and those who do not. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
